Even though Charles walked out on his duties to the council right after losing the election, it hasn't really felt like a "new council." Until now. Tomorrow night, Patrick Martyn will be sworn in to fill the position Charles vacated so abruptly.
I plan to be in the audience because this is something I worked hard for and care a great deal about. Not only will we have a new perspective (and, likely, much more participation) from Pat, but we'll have a voice of reason rather than one of "agree to get along" politics. It's a great day in St. Helens!
Also set to take the oath is Mayor Peterson, proving that people in this town recognize that there's more important to the Mayor's job than just making appearances around town.
Is it appropriate to stand up and cheer when someone takes the oath? I guess I'll find out. =)
